That’s a Wrap
Well, turns out there probably won’t be any grand finale Hueco weekend after all. Our plans of heading there one last time over the weekend got shut down by a nasty stomach bug…(which I suspect we picked up at Silas’ gymnastics class given the fore-warning by the grandpa of one of Silas’ little classmates of violently vomiting gymnasts). It knocked our entire family out Wednesday night through Sunday. Yep. Yuck. And now it’s hot. And the next few weekends are booked. So, that’s a wrap people! Hueco will just have to wait till the fall. I am a bit bummed to not be heading straight back to tick off Mr. Serious, v8, but as Paul pointed out this week, now I get to look forward to a quick send when we head back later this year…which will be a nice little motivating goal to keep me from lounging too much by the pool with margaritas in hand during the hot Tucson summer. 😉
As a parting gift, here are some of my favorite “playtime” photos from the season. Oh the places the kid’s toys have gone. Enjoy!

Not sure what this one is. If I had to guess, it’s probably a parking garage

After seeing an owl one night while peeing at the campsite, Silas’ fascination with Hueco’s dams was quickly replaced by Hueco’s owls. This stuffed owl from Aunties Jude and Ann soon emerged from the bottom of the toybox and joined us on many a Hueco adventure.

Bare belly in dirt. The usual.
Besides eating rocks and dirt, Ivan also loves to motor around with rod-shaped objects in his chubby little hands…like sticks, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. Here, he’s fallen asleep with Silas’ socket wrench in his iron grip. What’s interesting is that we remember Silas loving to trail around strings and cords at this age. To each his own.

And here, nature got the best of the toys. No kid can resist a pile of leaves.
See you in the fall Hueco!
